I woke up pretty early this morning, neck hurting, shoulder hurting, head hurting. All of my usual morning stuff. Nothing I'm not use to. We all have aches and pains especially as we get older, some are physical and some are mental. I was sitting in the quiet of the day. Praying for this and that. God know all of those things, and I pray his will be DONE and that my heart will be accepting to his will. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a worry wart. It's just in this old sinners nature. I try and try not to worry but seem the more I try not to the more I do. And in the stillness of this morning, after the tornadoes and flooding last. Here I sit with my hot cup of coffee in my warm chair, with my warm little Toby curled up on my lap. I was having a pretty serious discussion with GOD, and the Doves who live in my flower bed started cooing. The sound of a Dove is one of my most favorite sounds. I said thank you God for the Doves this morning. And he reminded me of this scripture. Read the whole chapter the first part is the Lords prayer, but the last part is what touched my heart this morning. Where are my treasures. Why do I worry over things God has promised to take care of for me if I only ask seeking his face and his will. We are abiotic to have our HOLY WEEK. We should take to heart the promises in this scripture. Consider the Lillies, Consider the Doves. God made them so beautiful and he takes care of their every need. Why, let me say that again Why, should I worry over anything. He made man in his own image, would he not take better care of us than even the flowers in the field or the birds in the sky. So I want to Praise the Lord this morning, for all I have that I don't even need. And for all my needs, that you take care of, that I take for granted. I thank you God for sending your only “Begotten Son that who so ever believe in him would not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16. When we look a the big picture these things we worry over mean nothing. So take a moment in the quiet of the the day and say Praise God for Jesus Christ our Saviour. And remember next week just what he gave us when Jesus willingly let himself be hung on that cross for my sins and your sins. Love you all this morning. I pray you have a servants heart today and tomorrow and especially on HOLY WEEK and all the weeks after. Thank you God for send me a Dove this morning to remind me of just how Awesome you are.
Matthew 6:19-34(KJV)
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
